World record karaoke marathon

Five hundred artists from all around India have just taken the world record for the longest karaoke marathon in Vashi, India. They sang over 7,000 songs to log a total of 579 hours. (That's 24 days and 3 hours.)

This shatters the previous record set in China of 456 hours, 2 min, 5 sec.

Other karaoke records:
The largest group of people to sing karaoke simultaneously was 160,000. This was at a NASCAR race in Bristol Tennessee. They sang Garth Brook's "Friends in Low Places".

I don't think this has been ratified by the folks at Guinness, but the longest karaoke song that I am aware of is Don MacLean's "American Pie", which is 8 minutes and 47 seconds.
